Cintas Announces Grant Program To Provide Police With Lifesaving Technology

CINCINNATI, OH, January 12, 2004 - Cintas Corporation
(Nasdaq: CTAS) announced
a new program to boost
national efforts to
put lifesaving technology
into the hands of police
officers, often the
first to respond to
life threatening, cardiac
emergencies. The ReviveR
Provider Police Grant
Program is designed
to place automated
external defibrillators
(AEDs) into the hands
of trained officers.

"The American Heart
Association strongly
encourages businesses
and public facilities
to establish AED programs
to increase the chances
of survival for people
with heart related
emergencies," says
Richard Stein, National
Account Manager of
EEC Programs for the
American Heart Association. "We
applaud the efforts
of Cintas Corporation
for initiating their
ReviveR Provider Grant
Program."

The Cintas ReviveR
Provider Grant Program
works on two levels.
Police departments
across the country
are eligible to apply
directly for the grant
online at the program's
web site. Four times
a year, a department
will be selected to
receive four AEDs along
with associated AED
training from the American
Heart Association.
Through a civic underwriting
program, qualifying
non-profit and civic
organizations interested
in purchasing AEDs
to present to local
police departments
can apply for special
financing support.
Information and applications
for the program are
available online at www.reviverprovider.org .

"Every year more than
250,000 people die
from sudden cardiac
arrest," says Bob Mitchell,
Vice President of the
Cintas First Aid and
Safety Division. "The
program helps Cintas
and civic groups support
law enforcement in
their efforts to rapidly
respond to cardiac
emergencies."

AEDs are sophisticated
computer driven medical
devices that deliver
an electric shock through
the chest wall to the
heart. The processors
in the device are programmed
to judge whether defibrillation
is needed and prompt
the aid-giver when
to administer a life
saving shock.

According to recently
released American Heart
Association research
results, some communities
where Public Access
Defibrillation programs
have been implemented
have seen average survival
rates for out-of hospital
cardiac arrest improve
as much as 50 percent.
